Hello, everyone.  I've been lurking a while, but I thought I'd say Hi.  I bought a 2015 Explorer Sport back in April (on my 44th birthday, sort of a midlife crisis present to myself).  Back in my younger days, I did have 2 Taurus SHOs, a black '89 MT, followed by a blue '93 AT.  I did belong to a local SHO club back then.

My ExSport is White Platinum Tricoat, almost all options, and so far I've added a 3 bar MAP sensor, new NGK plugs, Reische 170 thermostat, sharkfin antenna, black Gorilla wheel locks, and tunes from both Unleashed and Livernois.  Next up: PPE downpipes & Snow Stage 3.  I also bought an MDesign CAI, but I've since removed it.

Anyway, hello to everyone, and if you're ever near Lakeville, MN, give me a holler.

As far as the tunes, I was running my initial Unleashed tunes for several months, and I recently had Torrie update my 91 octane tune after I datalogged.  What he sent back was a big improvement.  A couple of weeks ago, I had some poker winnings burning a hole in my pocket, so I decided to give Livernois a try.  I have to say, what I got from them was very exciting.  Out of the box, Livernois was decidedly more impressive, but my refined tune from Unleashed is just about the same.  At the moment, I'm running LME 93 Perf v3.

Glad to hear you enjoy our tune!  I will keep you informed as the next tune release becomes available.  We currently have a new improved version 4 tune in the works that will take your rides performance to the next level for sure.  Upon completion of the first to market 2016 Explorer Sport tuning we have also identified some areas to further improve the version 3 tunes you have now. 

Stay tuned for more to come!

Welcome to the community, hawkeye93, from a former twin *green) SHO owner :)  Glad to have you & your '15 XSport here.  Put up some pics of your MLC acquisition when you get a chance!
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Only pic of my ExSport so far, from the day I bought it.


Plus, I aded links to my previous SHOs, if anyone's interested.
